Change Your Life In Seven Days - NLP Explained

NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. It characterizes the management of thoughts and feeling provoked through language, both spoken and body language. Self help practitioners such as Paul McKenna, author of Change Your Life in Seven Days, use NLP because of it's powerful influence on negative habits.

Using an unsuspecting friend, try this experiment. Making sure you can see them, text them this message.

I saw a Scratch on Your car. Who Knows who did it.

Now make sure you capitalize the words scratch, your and knows. They have to stand out just a little bit. What you've done is embedded the command, scratch your nose, to your friend. Knows and nose are phonetically ambiguous, so don't worry about that. Did your friend scratch their nose?

Studying the thoughts and behaviors in response to communication is the core of NLP. Using observation, NLP practitioners determine which communications elicit a desired outcome and which ones don't. From there, they tailor new communication options for a patient. Programs to stop smoking and those to help people lose weight employ NLP to identify the external triggers that keep people in bad habits.

Many times when you communicate, you are managing to send multiple messages through your body language, eye movement, tone of voice, pace of speech and even your speed of breath. What if, consciously, you could choreograph these paths of communication efficiently? Right now, you probably use a shotgun approach with very few filters and learned negative body communication.

Take, for instance, a desperate sales person trying to close the deal. Because this sales person was communicating his fear, the client won't probably buy. What about the frustrated husband? He's trying to talk calmly to his wife, but she sees his clenched jaw and tensed shoulders. She knows they are headed for a fight.

Nobody gets what they want with miscommunication. Many of us have developed stereotypes that are destructive such as taking things personally when someone declines our offer, or at best, unproductive like assuming your request will be declined before you've had the chance to ask.

Fully communicating your intent is what NLP helps out with. Since everyone has their own set of experiences, NLP is not just a cookie cutter solution. It must be tested and revised for each person. But, with the help of NLP, you can start to see the communication patterns that happen between yourself and others. From there, you will be able to study their reactions to your new communication styles. This is valuable feedback on the path toward improvement. Can you imagine what it would be like to skillfully communicate with your clients, parents, partner or the kids?
